The audio output port on my laptop just broke and I can no longer use it for my headphones. Does anyone know of a way I can route the sound output through the input instead?

You can try HDA-analyzer

The HDA analyzer tool provides a graphical interface to access the raw HD-audio control, based on pyGTK2 binding. The program gives you an easy-to-use GUI stuff for showing the widget information and adjusting the amp values, as well as the proc-compatible output.

This tool can parse also proc files (/proc/asound/card#/codec*) and output from alsa-info.sh script and monitor mode

Open this command on terminal:

  1. Get the basic run.py script:

    wget -O run.py http://www.alsa-project.org/hda-analyzer.py

  2. Quick run:

    python run.py

  3. Quick help:

    python run.py --help

  4. Quick alsa-info.sh file analyzer:

    python run.py /tmp/alsa-info.txt

  5. Quick monitor mode:

    python run.py --monitor

  • Uh... wonderful copy&paste job. I looked at the tool and there would be some more explanation needed to answer the question. Would you be so kind, please? – LiveWireBT Oct 04 '12 at 08:13
